Due to the hilarious nature of Wikipedia, both spellings feature throughout their article. And finally, I don't really trust the info on the HDCD remasters. So - given that I'm ripping and titling, what should I call it? Despite the spelling on the new remaster I'm leaning towards Airborn, not least because of the use of that spelling as the alternative album title. Any suggestions, folks? -------------- IMHO Back to top

starfish Group: Members Posts: 93 Joined: June 2009 Posted: July 31 2012, 08:43 Well, the correct dictionary spelling of the word is 'Airborne', with an e. I can only assume that it's supposed to be 'Airborn' but the word fell foul of the auto spellchecker! Back to top

I ended up going with Airborne as per the title on the original first vinyl pressing. I used Discogs.com (a very useful site) to see how it was originally credited. http://www.discogs.com/artist/Mike+Oldfield I wasn't sure about the new titling layout of Platinum either, as there are so many variations on labelling the 4 parts, such as: Platinum {Part One}: Airborne (I don't like these squiggly type brackets on these new reissues, so didn't use this title) Platinum (Part One): Airborne Platinum Part One - Airborne Platinum Part One: Airborne (This is the one I finally decided on) and so on...

CJJC Group: Members Posts: 210 Joined: Aug. 2010 Posted: July 31 2012, 17:10 That's the sort of thing I needed, and I assume that it's the Airborn album that's caused this level of confusion. Thanks, Nacho! -------------- IMHO Back to top
